In life, how many of us are going through things? Ever wish someone could just stand in your shoes for a minute to understand where you are? WE ALL DO.  Vice versa, how many of us judge others and try to wear their shoes?

When attempting to walk in someone else’s shoes a lot of negativity can occur.  If it is someone that is close, we try to understand that person’s journey but end up judging and imposing.  This can result in creating hard times in the relationship or the ending of the relationship.  It’s ok to give advice, but trying to make a decision for that person is never ok.

There are times we walk in the shoes of people we don’t even know.  A good example of this would be via social media.  There are people we don’t like or are curious about that we make it our business to find on social networks. When looking at their personal social media sites, we form opinions and judge them.  Not only do we judge them, but also we start to judge ourselves. Our self-esteem can be lowered and we start to base our appearances and behaviors off trying to walk in someone else’s shoes (shoes they probably don’t want). We lose sight of the fact we have our own shoes to wear.

Now that we see where trying to walk in someone else’s shoes gets us, let’s try our own.

Experiences in life are like pairs of shoes.  Sometimes we find a shoe that is the perfect fit, other times we have to deal with a shoe that makes us uncomfortable.  Despite the shoe being uncomfortable, we buy them anyway and eventually “break them in”.  Now if you are a size 6 and you purchase a shoe that is a size 4, you know those shoes aren’t for you.  Like shoes, there are times when life seems perfect, there is a clear path and you know what direction you are headed in. There are other times when your next move isn’t so clear and it makes you uncomfortable.  Lastly, there are things that happen in life that you know should just not be happening.

No matter what life situations you may encounter, you better own those shoes or find another pair and make it work for YOU.   I’m walking in MY shoes, are you?

Until Next Week!
